Trout are cold water fish because cold water holds more oxygen right? So when streams warm up - as in the crazy heat we had this year - the trout will head for colder tribs or cool seeps into streams, or they might hang around under a waterfall.
here's the dumb question: is there some reason that cold liquids hold more gas? For example, cold soda has more bubbles? can we change this? just kidding about that...
another question: since trout are cold blooded, is water temp above 68 or whatever a problem for the fish to maintain body temps? is that another water temp issue beyond the oxygen content issue?
thanks, and I am hoping for answers from Scientists![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
